What is the main difference between taking an acknowledgment and witnessing a signature? An acknowledgement is not a real notarization because the notary does not see the signer execute the document. @) An acknowledgement requires the signer to verbally declare that the signature is his/hers; signature witnessing requires the notary to actually see the signer sign the document An acknowledgment requires the signer to be identified by personal knowledge; a signature witnessing allows the signer to be identified by personal knowledge or satisfactory evidence An acknowledgment requires the signer to swear that the contents of the document are true and correct; a signature witnessing only requires the signer to affirm that the document is legal Next Question L] Mark For Review
